You can give away 100 dollars, as a dollar each to anyone who asks you for change, for a week straight.

When you go broke, you can ask 10 people for a nickle, for three days straight. And when they all say no, remember that that's their character, not yours.

That's not your karma.
That's their intention.

Keep your intention while receiving their treatment. God forbid you have to deal with a selfish man's karma.
Give when you have.
When you can or when you want.
Let them be selfish.
And give when you have.

I've never felt a pain so sharp
It makes breathing
Sleeping
Eating
The hardest part
To have someone make you believe
That you are worth more to them
Then you actually are
Swallowing the smoke
That builds a thick layer of tar
As I take one more drag of this cigarette
Close my eyes and try to forget
I picture the image clear as day
Of two bodies close together
One yours and the other which is not me
No way
Pain of the heart
Is the hardest part

Being cast in Your image,
We thought ourselves gods.

“I know when you’re sad,
I can tell when you’re happy,
And I know when something is wrong.”
She says

And I believed her

“Look at his arms,
You have to admit he’s hot,
His shirtless scene is my favourite.”
She says

And I stayed quiet

“You’re always so selfish,
Never do what I want,
You only think about whats best for you.”
She says

And I tried harder

“Lets watch this,
Look at this cool thing,
I swear I’m listening.”
She says

And I knew she wasn't

“I’ll go to bed early so I won’t nap,
I went to bed at 3am,
You’re just so comfy.”
She says

And I had 2 hours to my thoughts

“I hate my mom,
She never listens to me,
I’m just not gonna listen to her.”
She says

And I didn’t give my opinion

“Read my chapter.
Have you read my chapter?
I need validation.”
She says

And I could never bring myself to read it

“You’re not a real writer,
You write really good poetry,
It's too sad for me.”
She says

And I didn’t argue

“Are you tired?
You look tired.
You should get some rest.”
She says

And I wasn’t tired

thats all we are isn't it?
a collection of words we learn as we go
story after story intertwining with our inmost being
we could be original if we stopped listening
but the closing of our ears leads to the closing of our hearts and is it really worth it to never feel again
i me myself
i me myself
i me myself
i hear the others drowning until my ears pop and I'm submerged in the water around me
still
voiceless
and all i can think as i struggle to breathe is that i wish i had listened when you told me how to swim

She loved flowers
That she became one,
But you picked her
And she withered.

I helped you
You told me you're here too
I don't help for personal gain but
I'm hurting.
I'm hurting.
Please return the favor.
Please stop telling me to not be selfish.
All I asked was for some help.
I've listened to you talk about what's ailing you
I've helped you through it
You promised!
You promised you would be there for me!
But now that it's not about you, you don't care
You give me half hearted advice and change the subject to yourself
How you're hurting more, or how I'm too weak because you're hurting more and you're better than me

so I put my pain aside so you'll feel better for awhile
the pain of loving a narcissist

God I wish for something more
Empower me until said power sours me
Bitter poison, take a bite
Give me a reason for an extra step
I don't care if the stairs lead me no where
I just need something to climb

I'm not in the position to be wasting others time
You see I am simply a being of habit
Let me run, let me soar
The world can't bind expression
So give me something new
Give me more
